Amen brother... they must be made a common carrier. Just like a
shipping contain is 'said to contain' - they don't get to peek inside.
The bits are not theirs. They have one and only one job -- delivery them.
Just like the electric company, needs to deliver electrons at some
rate/force. They don't get to say I what I use them for. The bits
coming in/going out are between me and the side I am communicating.
They are carriers i.e. plumbing --- which of course they do not like. It
means its a lot hard for them to differentiate themselves other than in
service and price for delivery. Period.
